Side air bag (if equipped)
Side air bags are stored in the left side of
the driver’s seat and right side of the front
passenger’s seat.
If air bag inflation conditions are met
(side collision), they will inflate.
(Continued)
• Never allow front passengers to
put their hands, feet or face on or
close to the instrument panel. In
the event of air bag deployment,
such a mispositioned occupant
would be likely to suffer severe
injury or death.
• Never allow children, pregnant
women or weak persons to sit in
the front passenger seat. They
may be seriously injured by the
air bag inflation when air bag
deploys.
• Do not use child restraint sys-
tems on the front passenger's
seat, as inflation may cause death
or severe personal injury.
• Do not put objects or stickers on
the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory on the front
windshield glass and do not
install aftermarket mirrors or
accessories on the factory
installed rearview mirror. Any of
these could interfere with the
deployment of air bag inflation or
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.
WARNING - Seat covers,
damage and modifications
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers for a vehicle equipped
with side air bags.
Use of seat covers could interfere
with side air bag deployment.
If seat is damaged, have the vehi-
cle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform
them that your vehicle is
equipped with side air bags and
an occupant detection system.
• Do not make modifications or
additions to the seats as they may
cause the air bag system to mal-
function resulting in severe per-
sonal injury or death.
